Product Reviews

I purchased the FirstBIKE lowering kit for a FirstBIKE Racing edition that I bought at a garage sale. The kit was super simple to install thanks to the installation video that FirstBIKE has on their website. This kit was purchased at the same time I bought a second FirstBIKE for my other son and included in that shipment. Educents.com had the best price on the kit. FirstBIKE recommends the lowering kit if your child has less than a 14" inseam, my 2 year old has a 13" inseam and I am glad that I purchased the kit.

All I can say is that if you are considering a Balance Bike for your child THIS IS THE ONE TO GET! Another father I met at the park told me all about balance bikes and the benefits they provide for kids. He sent me a link to FirstBIKE and after reading up on them and watching the videos I was sold. Luckily I found educents.com in my shopping search and found them to have the best price on the FirstBIKE. The FirstBIKE was on our doorstep in less than 48 hour from ordering! My Son absolutely loves his "FirstBIKE Cross Orange", which is also his favorite color. My son has had his FirstBIKE for about 10 days and I am amazed at how quickly he has learned to balance on it and he gets faster and faster each day. Originally I was just going to get my son a small 12" bike and take the pedals off, I learned that this is not the same as a balance bike because of the bike's weight. FirstBIKE's are nice and light so kids can easily maneuver them around and gain confidence. I also like that the FirstBIKE is made of a very durable material and won't rust.

I ordered the balance bike and got it the next day. My granddaughter rode it and is practicing everyday. I can already see the improvement after only a few days. I recommend this product for any parent (or grandparent) instead of a bike with training wheels.

This is the second First Bike for our family. We bought this one for our 2.5 year old son after weeks of watching him become frustrated with pedals (as he watched his sister zip around on her First Bike). After a short introduction he soon was getting around independently, and navigating on his own. He rode it on the pavement, he tried it on the grass. It was wonderful to watch him. The assembly was easy and quick. The bike is durable and vibrant in color. The price is excellent and far lower than its competitors. We love watching our son become independent, learning to balance on his own and seeing the smiles as he can now keep up with his sister.

I did a lot of research and found this to be the best fit, yes it's pricey and needs a couple modifications to work for the typical 2 year old but it was easy and will be a great starter bike for my son! I bought this one after I returned the "orange" one since it was definitely red... love this color scheme and the metal plate at the top rather than plastic.

Sorry, we were not aware of this message. It can happen that tire is flat and it does not have to mean there is any problem. I hope you have tried to inflate it. If there is any issue, please contact us on info@firstbike.com and we will help you. Best regards Petra
